Also on prominent display will be another machine from the Fastfill range - the Fastfill 60.

It is ideal for producers who want higher production speeds and the option of gas flushing for MAP packaging.
Again hygiene standards and ease of cleaning are key in the design of the Fastfill 60 - the stainless steel machine bed and open layout make it easy to reach all areas for cleaning, and any potential bug traps have been designed out.
A multi positional touch sensitive control screen is incorporated.
Alongside the Fastfill models Packaging Automation will also have two impressive tray sealing solutions.
The compact Vision 400 will be exhibited with a denester and a short conveyor.
This leading edge, fully automatic, high speed traysealer offers atmospheric, MAP-F, MAP-V and high oxygen flushing for meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables and convenience foods.
Of particular note to potential customers are its compact dimensions, tooling and product changes in just two minutes, advanced control systems and production speeds of an impressive 80 packs per minute.
Offering high speed with total flexibility the Vision 400 is sure to appeal to many.
And completing the line up will be the semi automatic, hand turned rotary table tray sealer - the PA 182.
This model benefits from improved operation, efficiency maintenance and hygiene, and its robust design affords greater reliability and reduced downtime.
It can accommodate trays up to 100mm deep and such is its popularity it is estimated to be sealing over 100 million ready meals per week.
Packaging Automation commercial manager Sam Ashton said: "The launch of the Fastfill 40 is an exciting development and we're confident it will be of interest to many within the food industry.
We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand to find out more about it and the other machines on offer." Packaging Automation will be at PPMA at Birmingham's NEC from 27 - 29 September, in Hall 11 on Stand 11213.
